Frequently Asked Questions

What are the universal fundamentals of shooting?

The universal fundamentals of shooting, as explained by Brian Zins, involve two core principles: aligning the sights between your eye and the target, and manipulating the trigger without disturbing that alignment. These principles apply across all shooting disciplines.
